"Jose and his team were on time on the scheduled day. He made worthwhile suggestions which we accepted. He was done in two days as promised. Work was done professionally and looked beautiful when finished. Advance Pro is my painter of choice and my first call on all painting projects."

"We recently quoted out the painting of our front hallway (includes vaulted ceiling) to 4 different vendors. We chose Perfect Painters because they offered the same level of service (and paint quality) as the other three, but were the most competitively priced (two of the other vendors over-quoted us for a very straightforward project - walls were in great shape: it was just a refresh paint job on the upper walls above the chair rails and molding. One was $1,100 more expensive than Perfect Painters!). When I told these vendors that they had lost the bid due to pricing, both suggested that they were "very comfortable" with the prices they quoted us and suggested that we might be getting a lower quality job from Perfect Painters. I can assure you that was not the case - the team arrived on time and quickly got to work covering the area in tape and plastic. The team of three expanded to 4 or 5 in the afternoon to complete the job in about 6 hours (2 coats on walls, ceiling and crown molding). They did an excellent job and left the space as they found it. I have no hesitation in recommending them and will use them again for my next painting job. Beware of other vendors out there who will jack up the price and try to justify it by suggesting that the job is complicated by elevation (the ceiling is about 19 feet high at the highest point - its called a ladder!, or the fact that they have to tape the banister!) Next time, I won't waste my time and simply have Perfect Painters do the job for me. They are honest and straightforward and the crew who did the job were very friendly and efficient."

"Kenny and his team did an exceptional job painting a few rooms and walls in a new house my family and I are moving into. The painting project consisted of 3 rooms and an accent wall. His team arrived promptly and got right to work. Overall, extremely satisfied with the finished product, quality of work, and price. I would consider hiring them again for their services on future projects."

"I hired Bright Colors to paint the exterior trim of my 54 year old house. I hired them after the first company I contacted never provided an estimate. The second company quoted me double what Bright Colors quoted. I never give perfect scores to any company I review, but if I did, it would be for Bright Colors. After a slightly rocky start to beginning the work due to weather related issues, Nelson and his crew showed up and completed the job in 3 days. Every small issue and item I had mentioned in our initial estimation was attended to plus a few that came up during the work. I have other work that we discussed and I will not hesitate to contact BC when the budget allows. A FIRST RATE job and EXPERIENCE!!"

"Tara and LeeAnn and their crew were wonderful to work with. They gave me great advice which I took and I’m glad that I did! They were even willing to negotiate and recommend other paint products when I wanted to lower the price. They were efficient, on time, communicative, and really went above and beyond. I would recommend to anyone looking to paint interiors. Thanks again!"

"Mr Rafferty went beyond expectations. He power washed my house, sanded and painted all wood trim on the house, and repaired then painted dry wall inside my house. Mr Rafferty was punctual and he cleaned up his work area before he left. I’d highly recommend Mr Rafferty for hoo ooo me improves."

FAQs for painting projects in Mount Airy, MD

Most homeowners opt for semi-gloss or high-gloss paint to make the baseboards stand out against the walls. If you’d rather keep things subtle, matching the wall sheen with eggshell or satin also works well. When your trim has nicks or dents, reach for a flatter, matte finish—it hides minor imperfections better than a shiny coat.

Stripping old paint from trim costs $1 to $3 per linear foot. Pros use specialized tools and techniques to lift away existing layers without gouging the wood, then prep the surface for a fresh finish. While it adds to your budget, proper removal protects the molding and sets the stage for a smoother, longer-lasting paint job.

Tackling the baseboards first often leads to crisper lines. Painting trim first lets you tape off the boards instead of the walls, so you’re less likely to splatter color where you don’t want it. Any stray marks on the wall get covered when you roll on the final coat, making the whole process faster and tidier.

You can absolutely paint baseboards in place. Leaving them installed avoids the risk of cracking or misaligning the boards when they’re reattached. With thorough cleaning, light sanding, and careful taping, a pro—or an experienced DIYer—can achieve a sharp, factory-smooth finish while saving you the hassle of prying off and reinstalling trim.

Painting almost always beats replacement in cost. Swapping out baseboards runs about $150 in DIY materials or roughly $1,100 with a pro, while repainting costs about $50 in supplies and $1 to $5 per square foot for labor. Unless the boards are warped or severely damaged, a fresh coat delivers the same visual upgrade for a fraction of the price.

Paintable caulk and wood filler are the go-to fixes for nail holes in baseboards. Wood filler sands flush for a glass-smooth surface, while caulk provides a flexible seal that won’t crack as the house settles. Either way, patching those tiny divots before you prime ensures your finished baseboards look seamless.
